Parameters

ParameterDescription
hidecaption
boolean

If set to true, the embed code hides the caption. Defaults to false if parameter is not included in request.

maxwidth
int64

Maximum width of returned media. Must be between 320 and 658. Note that the maxheight parameter is not supported. This is because the embed code is responsive and its height varies depending on its width and length of the caption.

omitscript

If set to true, the returned embed HTML code will not include any javascript.
